Pepa
Astro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo creía que era feliz todavía no conocía las otras felicidades
Hasta que me encontré comiendo todas las cerezas de la quinta
No se puede comer tantas cerezas en un día
Te explota la guata y te nace un árbol si te tragas las pepas
Si te tragas las pepas te crece un árbol de sandías más alto que una cebolla

Llegué a tener una colonia de pajaritos viviendo en mis ramas
Y otra de ardillas y zorros y perros que se escapaban de casa

Sale de aquí no te comas a mis amigos campesinos
Cómete una pepa y haz para ti tu propio bosque
Cómete una pepaaa




Y ten tu propio bosque lleno de animales
Un bosque de cebollas y sandías

Overall Meaning

The first line of this song, "Yo creía que era feliz todavía no conocía las otras felicidades" translates to "I believed I was happy, but I still hadn't experienced other types of happiness." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which talks about discovering new experiences and finding joy in unexpected places. The next few lines mention eating cherries from a tree, but warning against eating too many seeds, as they will cause a watermelon tree to grow in your stomach. This is obviously an exaggeration but could represent the theme of being careful and aware of the consequences of our actions.


The following lyrics depict the singer having a whole colony of birds, squirrels, foxes, and dogs living on their branches. They warn off any potential intruders who might harm their new friends, and instead suggest eating a seed to grow a forest of one's own. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for building connections and caring for the world around us. The final line mentions a forest of onions and watermelons, bringing together elements of nature and growth.
